Harfleur the once great Norman port and its sieges
Harfleur rose as Normandy’s key harbor after England seized control during the Hundred Years War. Henry V reinforced Seine access by occupying Harfleur and expelling families, building a strong garrison and the St Martin tower. The town switched hands in 1445 during a Normandy uprising, and by 1450 English rule ended. The people of Harfleur still note the 1445 revolt each November 4.
